Clergy contemplating or facing a move (voluntarily or not) face three "how to" issues: first, how to assess a potential new congregation to which they feel called; second, how to disengage from their current position once a new one has been found; and third, how to engage the new setting.A means for negotiating these "how to's" and managing anxiety during the process is derived from a "systems perspective" over which clergy may exert a measure of control. "Rev. Washburn's book on entering and leaving congregational systems is an essential guide for all parish clergy. It fills a critical gap in our understanding of the necessary transitions we all must make well if we are to serve faithfully. Read this book and you will find yourself ready to say goodbye and hello with integrity and grace." - Frank Stalfa, professor of pastoral theology and dean of students, Lancaster Theological Seminary"Good Moves is a small book with a big impact for clergy ... This was one of the most helpful reads of the year for me, and I'm recommending it to all of my colleagues as well as those preparing for ordained ministry." - Rev. Dr. Kharma Amos, associate director of Formation and Leadership Development Metropolitan Community ChurchesPublisher's Website: http://sbpra.com/PhillipSWashburn
